Chingu looks for: Enthusiasm & Friendliness

When you put super friendly people who share the same goals together, a lot of learning and finished projects happen.

Tier 1 - (HTML - Basic Javascript - Basic Algorithms)

W3Develops looks for: Grit & Adaptability

The tech landscape is changing so fast and only going to increase its pace.

This means that the most important skill to have is not a particular Javascript framework or programming language, but the ability to adapt to changing environments and learn what is needed to solve the challenge and complete the project.

This is why we look for people who get excited by challenges and who will finish a project *regardless* of the challenges that arise (and challenges always arise).

If we asked your friends, how dependable in a team project do you think they'd rate you? * *

Not dependable at all.

VERY dependable

Would you prefer to work on a clone project or a new idea to create impact? *

Clone (reverse-engineer an existing app and build that)

Organic idea (the team decides on a new idea to build)

No preference. As long as I can code and learn I'm happy!

Would you like to help improve the Build-to-Learn project experience? *

Yes please!

No thanks

I'm interested but would like to learn more. Possibly in the future.

In order to support teams better in the Cohort, we're going to check in with every member once a week via a short 3-5 question Check-in Form (5 minutes). If accepted, do you agree to fill this form out once a week for the duration of the cohort? (Note: due to the importance of being able to support teams, we will not accept people who say no to this question.)
